Beachy Night Stand with Wall Papered Drawers

 
My auto mechanic, Paul, is an avid yard saler and collector, so I always love going to his shop and checking out his finds.  Last time I visited, I found this little, 3-drawer night stand.  It was pretty ugly, but I liked how narrow it was and figured it would be functional for someone who lacked space.
 
 
With a little wall paper and Chalk Paint, I turned this homely night stand into a fresh, beachy piece of furniture.
 
 
I found three rolls of vintage, textured wall paper at a yard sale recently and I decided this would be the perfect project for it.
  
 
I traced each drawer onto the wall paper and then cut them out.  I used Mod Podge to stick the wall paper to the drawer fronts.  I am always impressed with the adhering power of Mod Podge!
 
 
I used Duck Egg Blue Chalk Paint on the dresser and I applied it with a dry brush to the drawer fronts so the white wall paper showed through the blue.  For the finishing touch, I added some darling, sea star knobs that we sell at Loot.

Plant Stand + Pizza Stone = Cute Side Table


I was outside looking through my own pile of rubbish the other day when I suddenly got an idea.  I saw my old pizza stone and a plant stand and I thought they would make a perfect little table if I attached the stone to the top of the plant stand.

After painting them both a pale green, I attached the pizza stone to the top of the plant stand with E6000 glue.  Then, I traced the top of the table onto a pretty piece of paper from the art supply store.


I cut out the paper and decoupaged it onto the top with Mod Podge.  When it dried, I gave it two more coats of Mod Podge to seal and protect the surface.



I painted the entire thing with a coat of light brown glaze and rubbed it off with a rag to give it an aged look.


I love the birds, fancy scripts and stamps on this pretty paper.



This was such an inexpensive, easy project and I am happy that I was able to reuse two things I did not want anymore to make it.
